Step 1, Rinse
Warm water and mild soap after each use. Never put your knife in the dishwasher, the harsh detergents and jostling will damage the edge and handle.
Step 2, Dry
Towel dry immediately. Don't leave it wet or in the sink, even stainless steel can develop spots if left damp.
Step 3, Store
Use a knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard. Never toss it loose in a drawer, it dulls the edge and is a safety hazard.
That's it, no special maintenance, no fussy rituals. Your Shimeru knife is designed for daily use. With these three steps it'll stay razor-sharp for years.
Precision.
Balance.

Unmatched Hardness, Surgical Precision
Discover the ultimate in sharpening performance with the Shimeru Diamond Rolling Sharpener, designed for chefs who demand durability, speed, and refined precision. Featuring ultra-hard diamond-coated grinding discs in #400 and #1000 grit, this system tackles even the hardest steels with ease.
Why Diamond?
Diamond abrasives are the hardest sharpening material available. The #400 grit disc is ideal for fast edge restoration—removing chips, reshaping blades, and reviving dull edges. The finer #1000 grit disc polishes and refines the blade, creating a razor-sharp edge ready for precise slicing.
How to Use:
Start with the #400 grit to reshape or repair, then switch to the #1000 for fine honing. The rolling action ensures even contact, and the 15°/20° magnetic angle guide locks in perfect geometry for both Western and Japanese-style knives.
Perfect For:
Crafted from professional-grade, heat-treated high-carbon steel, Shimeru Knives deliver exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. From the first slice, you’ll experience the precision that sets us apart.
Our knives are guaranteed to be the sharpest you’ve ever owned. No exceptions, no compromises. Just razor-sharp blades that elevate your culinary experience.
Shimeru Knives feature uniquely designed handles that not only add a sophisticated touch to your kitchen but also provide a comfortable, secure grip for effortless chopping and slicing.
With a double-bevel edge sharpened to 15° (compared to the standard 20-25° of most Western knives), our blades allow for smoother, faster cuts, enhancing your cooking efficiency by 2 to 3 times.

SaleGot this sharpener for my dad's birthday and we gave it a go on his old chefs knife that had gone proper blunt. The #400 side brought the edge back in no time, then the #1000 polished it up lovely. Magnetic base holds the knife at the right angle so you can't mess it up really. Hes over the moon with it.
Ive been using whetstones for years but honestly got fed up with the faff, this rolling thing is dead simple. The diamond discs are no joke, sorted out a chipped santoku in minutes. My only gripe would be I wish the roller was a bit heavier but thats me being picky, results speak for themselves. Came well packaged too, no damage.
Hmm, not sure it's worth sixty quid. It works, don't get me wrong, but for the money I was expecting something that felt a bit more substantial. The rolling action is smooth enough but the diamond discs are quite small and it takes a good few passes to get a burr going on harder steel. My Victorinox responded alright but my Japanese petty knife still felt a bit rough after the 1000 grit, had to finish on a ceramic rod anyway. It's handy for a quick touch-up but I think you’re paying a lot for the magnetic gimmick. Might suit someone who's nervous with stones.
Bought this to keep my knives in shape as I'd got lazy with whetstones. Does a cracking job tbh. The coarse disc sorted out a couple of little nicks on my chef's knife and the finer one leaves a lovely polished edge. The magnet holds the knife steady, no wobble. Only slight grumble is I wish the base had a bit more grip on the worktop - it slides a smidge on my smooth counter if I get a bit enthusiastic. Not a big deal, I just stick a damp cloth under it now. For the price, it’s saved me loads of faff.
Got this for my husband who’s always moaning his knives are blunt. He’s properly chuffed with it tbh. The magnet thingy makes it dead easy to keep the angle right, just roll it along a few times and you can feel the edge coming back. His old Wusthof is slicing through onions like butter now which he’s made a big song and dance about. Bit steep at sixty quid and I wish it came with some sort of wee case cos its just sat on the side getting dusty. Does the job though so cant really complain.
Hmm. I wanted to like it but its just ok. It does sharpen but it takes longer than I thought and the rolling motion feels a bit clunky til you get used to it. The magnetic angle guide is a nice idea but I found myself double-checking after a few rolls because it slipped a bit on my thicker blades. After a good 10 minutes my santoku was sharper but not scary sharp like youd get from a stone. Probably fine for a quick touchup if your knives are already in decent nick but for the money I was expecting a bit more oomph.
Got this for me dad's birthday and he's well chuffed. His old kitchen knives were in a right state but this little thing sorted them out rapid. Just roll it along the blade a few times and they're properly sharp again. The magnet's proper strong as well, doesn't budge when you're using it. Top bit of kit.
Ok so I was a bit dubious about these rolling sharpeners cos they look a bit gimmicky. But honestly its brilliant. I had a santoku that could barely cut a tomato and after about 5 mins with this its slicing through paper. The two sides make sense - the coarse one got the edge back and the fine one's polished it up lovely. The magnetic base is a nice touch, stops it skidding about on the worktop. Feels solidly built as well, not cheap and plasticky. Came in a proper box too which was a nice surprise.
does the job well on my sabatiers. the rolling bit takes a little practice to keep the angle right but once you get the hang it puts a proper edge on. magnet holds the blade steady enough. would of liked a slightly finer grit for finishing but the 1000 is decent.
Got this for my birthday after hinting at the missus. Used it on my wusthof chefs and a cheap paring knife, both came up sharper than they’ve been in ages. The 400 side sorted a tiny nick out nicely. Only thing is it’s quite weighty which makes it stable but my hands are small so a bit of a faff to move across the worktop sometimes. Still, recommend.
